Full Disclosure

Dee Henderson Is Back! Ann Silver is a cop's cop. As the Midwest Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region's most trusted investigative positions. Paul Falcon is the FBI's top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder. Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn't expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention. The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is...

An excellent suspense book, great characters in Ann and Paul, however, a little disconcerting that previous books and characters are involved, took a little getting used to this but it was still a great read.

I agree with the other reviews of this books. Not the best of the Dee Henderson books, but it is a good one and a must read if you have read her other series. I read it last summer and am rereading it, it is better to understand the second time around. Keep writing Dee Henderson, and I will keep reading , and rereading your books

This is a very strange book. It's very different from Dee Henderson's other novels and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. There is just so much talking and narrative ... and really no action to speak of. The love story is feels really robotic. They fall in love, I guess, because they should but there doesn't seem to be a lot of feeling in it. In the end the book just sort of stopped.

This is a must read for fans of Dee Henderson, though might prove a little confusing for readers who have not read Henderson's other novels.
My only concern the attitude of the author. She first tells of the main character, Ann, who writes the O'Malley series, and all other Dee Henderson books, under an allonym. The rest of the novel talks of Ann and how she is a capturing, spell-casting writer. In a way, it gives the idea that Dee Henderson was wrapping up her writing career with a novel that essentially pats herself on the back.

Dee Henderson is one of my favorite authors. This book is fine on its own, but many characters from previous books (both her series and stand-alone titles) either show up in this book or are mentioned by characters in the book. It's a nice little reminder for those of us who love all of her books, but I would think it would be irritating for people who haven't read the other books. This book was a good read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as some of her others. The O'Malley series is still my favorite. If you haven't read those, I suggest you begin with the prequel, Danger in the Shadows, or with the actual first book, The Negotiator.
